Lead OT Engineer - Power Conversion

Valar Atomics is a young startup that turns ambitious engineering into working hardware. Before our third anniversary, we designed, built, commissioned, and operated a DOE-authorized research reactor outside the national laboratory system. That pace defines how we work: learn quickly, make sound decisions, and build systems that perform. Safe operation, disciplined testing, and regulatory rigor are non-negotiable. Analysis must lead to decisions and delivery, and we expect people to take ownership and see their work through.

If you want hard problems, real responsibility, and the freedom to build with urgency, bring your judgment and drive to Valar.

Own the power-conversion program's daily OT work plan, team workload, and delivery commitments. Turn equipment, vendor, integration, and test dependencies into coordinated work, keeping the team effective when schedules change. Technical expertise is preferred, not required; people-management and decision authority develop through explicit delegation.
